SUBJECT:  Vallco EIR Scoping Comments – Hydrology and Water Quality

 

1.      Groundwater impacts - Due to the massive digging required by this project, please study

a.       the impact on the groundwater table

b.      the massive pumping out of the water table as well as resultant contamination

c.      the impacts on local wells

2.      Water supply –

a.      the EIR should analyze increased water demand and whether it will increase stress on the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the local water wholesaler, or the State Water Project, the eventual source of SCVWD’s water.

b.      How will water for the green roof park area be provided?  How will it be stored and treated?

 

Sincerely,

Peggy Griffin
